English: Two different Vietnamese communities are growing together in Berlin: the generation and the descendants of the so-called "boat-people" who fled on crowded refugee ships before the invasion of communist troops in northern Vietnam, and the families of the former GDR contract workers.

The feature portrays two protagonists from the respective community at two central venues of the Berlin Vietnamese community: the Linh-Thuu Pagoda in the middle of a Spandau industrial area and the Dong-Xuan Center, the trading center in Lichtenberg, which has become a tourist attraction.
